Support Amanda Hollyann's Final Journey

Please help me get Amanda Hollyann home

We lost our daughter, Amanda Hollyann Boehnke, her struggle with depression ended with her committing suicide 23 days before her 27th birthday.

She was intelligent, self-confident, loving, fearless, and an all-around beautiful person.

She excelled at everything she did even with dyslexia.

Please get to know her from her own words from her Facebook:

“I may only be 26 but I have definitely lived. I have been to some of the most unbelievable rainforests, swam under waterfalls in Hawaii, climbed to the top of countless waterfalls/mountains, been up above the clouds, watched the stars on top of a volcano, I have swam with stingrays, watched hundreds of dolphins swim within arm's reach. I have skydived, white water rafted, flown a plane, driven 180 mph, and laughed with strangers in so many foreign places. I have definitely lived. I have been married/divorced, ran multiple businesses and have my dream job that I am pretty fuckin' good at all while never forgetting to take in every ounce of beauty in the world.”

I’m trying to get her back home to North Tonawanda, NY to lay her to rest among family in White Chapel Memorial Gardens. Originally I wanted her home immediately to be taken care of by Rhoney Funeral Home, who our family has trusted for over 50 years, but had to have her cremated in Washington. Currently waiting on her ashes.

It could cost about $10,000.

$5,005 for the plot

$795 for the burial

$2,600 for the headstone

I’ve been told that she reached out for help while she was working as a traveling physical therapist in Seattle Washington, but did not receive any.

A lawyer may be needed.

I will keep track of any donations and make sure that anything extra that is not needed will be returned. It might take me a while, a doctor told me I can never work again. I ended up on disability after losing my home and been having to move around since 2018.

I would never want someone to think that I don’t want to work, it was something that happened to me and I’m still not fine with it.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

I will never forget who you are and the goodness of your hearts.
